Purpose

The Office of Intercultural Engagement coordinates, develops, and implements programs, events, and resources that provide opportunities for students, staff, and faculty to engage in intercultural learning opportunities.

Mission

The mission of the Office of Intercultural Engagement (OIE) is to promote and support access and equity for persons of every race and ethnic heritage, gender, religion, ability, linguistic diversity, and sexual orientation. In collaboration with existing college programs and offices, OIE promotes and facilitates the academic, professional, and personal development of members of the TCC community with an emphasis on underrepresented groups. This is accomplished through advocacy, direct service, and cultural programming.
